How to Use the GitHub MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Q: How do I fetch GitHub data in the Vercel AI SDK?

Use the createMCPClient function to connect your server. Once connected, pass the tools to your generateText call to start querying.

Stream GitHub repository data directly into your Vercel AI SDK interface for real-time updates and interactive code management.

Real-time issue tracking in the Vercel AI SDK

Feed your UI live issue data by invoking `list_repository_issues`. Your components update as the agent iterates. This keeps users informed without refreshing. It's built for event-driven dashboards where latency matters.

Direct file inspection via AI SDK tools

Push raw source code into your context window using `get_file_content`. The agent reads specific files to provide accurate answers. This bypasses the need for manual file uploads. You get granular visibility into your codebase from the chat window.

Manage pull requests through the MCP Server

Trigger `list_pull_requests` to show pending review cycles in your app. It helps you keep track of incoming changes without switching tabs. Your interface displays PR status automatically. It turns your GitHub workflow into a responsive part of your web application.

Setup guide

Set up GitHub MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
ai + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies

Run npm install ai @modelcontextprotocol/sdk plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Create the Streamable HTTP transport

Use StreamableHTTPClientTransport with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and use tools

Call mcpClient.tools() to auto-discover all GitHub tools. Pass them directly to generateText() or streamText() — no manual schema definitions needed.
4

Works with any model provider

Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK provider — Anthropic, Google, Mistral. The MCP tools work identically across all supported models.

index.ts

import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from "ai";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp";
import { generateText } from "ai";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp")
);

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport });
const tools = await mcpClient.tools();

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  tools,
  prompt: "List recent GitHub transactions",
});

console.log(text);
await mcpClient.close();

Common questions about GitHub MCP in Vercel AI SDK

Use the `createMCPClient` function to connect your server. Once connected, pass the tools to your `generateText` call to start querying.

Yes, the transport layer is lightweight. It runs fine on edge runtimes as long as your network allows the outbound connection to the server.

The server uses a dedicated endpoint token. No data is stored on Vinkius; it flows directly from GitHub to your client session.

You can selectively pass tool definitions to specific routes. Only expose what the agent needs for that specific UI component.

Check your environment variables for the correct token. Ensure the server URL is reachable from your local environment or deployment.
